She honestly didn’t think it was necessary.Â
She and Aurora were about the same age and relying on her made her feel guilty.Â
“No matter how old you are, I still see you as younger than me. I’m basically like your older sister, and it’s my responsibility to look after you,” Aurora said sincerely.Â
“I’ve always seen you as family, so how could you think that way?”Â
“But I don’t want you to work so hard for me. Even if you’re older, you’ve already carried so much on yourÂ
shoulders.Â
“I’ve always felt that we should share both the good and the bad together,” Megan said earnestly, her eyesÂ
fullÂ
of concern.Â
She didn’t want Aurora to keep taking everything on alone. She was an adult now and wanted to handle things herself instead of depending on her all the time.Â
“Don’t worry, I know my limits. And honestly, I like it when you rely on me.”Â
Aurora genuinely liked being someone others could depend on, especially when she could help those who trulyÂ
needed it.Â
To her, Megan was one of those people. They had grown up together, and Megan wasn’t just a friend to her.Â
She was family.Â
So why wouldn’t she help her?Â
For Aurora, once she recognized someone as family, she would do anything for them.Â
She never easily changed her mind about the people she cared about–whether it was family, Megan, or herÂ
friends.Â
Seeing how serious Aurora was, Megan suddenly didn’t know what to say.Â
She knew that with Aurora, jokes didn’t work because Aurora would take them to heart.Â
Sometimes, Aurora could be too earnest and stubborn once she decided something. Megan didn’t want to say anything that might make her take things the wrong way.Â
She had always known what kind of person Aurora was, so even when she joked around, she did it with restraint.Â
If Aurora ever took it seriously, Megan would feel bad about it afterward.Â
“Alright, alright, I’m going to rest now. Stop worrying about me.”Â
Megan smiled brightly.Â
Meeting Aurora in this lifetime was something she truly cherished. Having a friend like her made her feel that her life had already been worthwhile.Â

“Alright then, I’ll rest too.”Â
When Aurora saw Megan enter her room, she finally felt at ease. She was just about to close her door when a sudden force pushed it open.Â
Before she could react, a strong hand covered her mouth, silencing her instantly.Â
Aurora’s heart leapt in shock, and she was about to stomp on the intruder’s foot when a low voice whispered beside her ear, “It’s me.”Â
Hearing the familiar voice and feeling the familiar scent surrounding her, her body gradually relaxed.Â
She instantly knew who it was.Â
Sensing her calm down, he realized Aurora had already recognized him.Â
Lucas slowly let go of her, and as soon as she turned around, she was greeted by that familiar, handsome face.Â
She couldn’t help but complain, “Can’t you ever show up like a normal person?”Â
Lucas looked a little embarrassed. “You didn’t rest at all during the day. This was the only chance I had to see you.”Â
